ICE agents killed the wrong man this morning in Biddeford, Maine, and left his body handcuffed in the street for five hours.
Joan Sebastian Guerrero was 26, married, with a 3-year-old daughter. Agents staking out an address on his street rammed his car as he left for work and fired up to seven shots, four of them through his windshield. It took the DHS Secretary until nightfall to admit they had the wrong man. Six days earlier in Houston, agents killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was the wrong man too.
Biddeford knew where to take its grief. By noon, several hundred people had marched down Main Street to Sen. Susan Collins’ office, where some pushed into the entryway, pounding on her locked doors and chanting vote her out. Collins cast the deciding vote last month to award ICE $70 billion that runs through the end of Trump’s term, and her office answered the protest by pointing to the accountability measures in the bill. The agents who killed Guerrero and Salgado Araujo were not wearing the cameras that accountability promised.
